3 the journal • uncc • thursday, may 6,1971 I In Washington Lobbyists Walk Ignored By Press Needed Mike McCoy, student at Antioch College at Columbia, (Md.) and U.S. Youth Chairman of International Walk for Development, said that although more than a million high school and college students in more than 350 cities have signed on to Walk for Development on May 8-9, their plans have largely been ignored by the nation's press, including college papers. The Walks will be held in 39 other countries simultaneously with those in the U.S. Issues on which International Walk Day is focusing are reducing worldwide military expenditures, thereby permitting nations to use their resources for more constructive purposes; assuring an adequate income for every family and for every nation through an equitable distribution of work opportunities and world trade; providing a minimally sound diet for the current world population; harnessing the growth of the world's population; learning to appreciate diversity of culture and values among the world's people; and reversing the degradation of the earth and its environment. Groups desiring to participate in the Walk for Development are urged to contact the International Walk for Development, 1717 H Street, IM.W., Washington, D.C., (202) 382-6727. Carolina Leg Refuses Funds The Student Legislature at Chapel Hill has refused to allocate any funds for the Committee for the Advancement of Minority and Disadvantaged Students and Project Uplift. Both organizations are committed to bringing more members of disadvantaged or minority groups to the campus. Hayden B. Renwick, assistant director of undergraduate admissions, charged that the very success of the programs in bringing black students to the Chapel Hill campus is the reason Student Legislature refused to fund the program for next year. Renwick is a black administrator at Chapel Hill. One of the reasons given by the legislature for not funding the committee was a feeling that the administration should fund the program. "The people who have been screaming at the administration are now acting like the administration on this matter," said Renwick. (-Daily Tar Heel, Vol. 79, No. 45, Apr. 24, 1971.) College students are being organized to work in the nation’s Capitol this summer as “student lobbyists” on behalf of environmental legislation, was announced April 23 by Friends of Animals, a humane treatment organization. “We expect the response from young people in colleges throughout the country will be enthusiastic,” said Alice Herrington, “Friends” president, “because they are vitally concerned about the disappearing- wildlife and the damage being done to our environment.” Students joining the new ecological task force will be supervised by the group’s legislative arm, the Committee for Humane Legislation. They will coordinate their activities with those of other humane and conservation societies. “There is every reason to believe that ‘student lobbyists’ can be a major force in compelling our representatives in Congress to pass laws that will preserve the wonders of nature for coming generations,” Miss Herrington added. Further information can be obtained from Lewis Regenstein, Director of Student Lobbyists, Committee for Humane Le^slation, Inc., Suite 310, 905 16th St. N.W., Washington, D.C. 20006. Campaign Statements, ... And Promises, Promises,,, (Continued from Page 2) direct student questions on this and other matters, to allow the student to control his affairs more. 1 would like to see more opportunities for all students to be able to express themselves more into the policies and activities for which their money is spent. All students need greater representation including Unknowns and minorities.” Ellen Witter; (Director, Student Union Board) “I feel that I could best represent the interests of the student body at UNCC in the field of entertainment. There is a need to represent student interest and this can be achieved by setting up a permanent office and posting olticial office hours so you can contact your representative and ^ ti b m i t your comments, ^^mplaints, or questions. Through oetter organization of social activities money can be saved, and octter entertainment can be made available on campus. “Another area of concern is tue lack of publicity; this can be solved by a calendar of events sent to every student every semester and intensive publicity of events throughout both the University ^ud Charlotte Communities. Lastly, due dig heavy concentration of spring ^utertainment presented uoughout the state, and the change in semester scheduling. 1 cel a Big |■';||| Weekend should be -produced as an annual affair, 'is weekend should include not music but other types of *^,’'^cvtainment, such as; -art exhibits, late nite Hicks, and other creative activities. “I’d appreciate your support on May 5th and 6th.” Parks Warren; (Sophomore Class President) “Having been on the Student Legislature for the past year as Freshman President, I feel that 1 know how the SGA works, and also that I can be of Benefit to the Sophomore Class next year. 1 am firmly for the betterment of the school, and I will work diligently to the best of my abilities to work for the Sophomore class. 1 will work to make sure that all bills passed will be of benefit to each student. 1 have definite interest in the SGA, time to work closely with the SGA and the students, and the knowledge of how the SGA works.” Mike Diye; (Director. Student Union Board and College of Social and Behavioral Sciences) “As a Director of S.U.. 1 will work hard to get the bands you want for your money. 1 will try to get more students interested in on-campus and weekend activities.

However, one of my major reasons is to see that the Spirit of the Class of ‘72 is carried forward in an elevated manner. It was the Spirit of ‘72 that gave UNCC its first University Flag; that provided UNCC with the second runner-up in the Miss 49er Beauty Pageant, Miss Betsy Carroll; and that gave you a Miss UNCC entrant. Miss Beth Timanus. It was the Spirit of the Class of ‘72 which provided this past legislature with many capable leaders. Among these were Miss Susan Sutton, Miss Marlene Whitley, Mr. Ed Wayson, and Miss Beth Timanus. The Junior Class of 1971 participated actively in many functions that other classes didn’t because of the Spirit of the Class of ‘72.1 want to continue to be a part of this spirit, and to do so. 1 will need your votes. My past qualifications include: SGA, Rep to the Publications Board, Judicial Committee Chairman of Student Legislature ‘70-‘71, Junior Class President ‘70-‘71. and I was lucky enough to be named to the 1970 edition of Who’s Who Among American College and University Students. Class of *7211 want to keep the Spirit of ‘72 alive and thriving. I want next year’s Senior Class to be UNCC’s best ever. I will be very honored if you allow me to devote all my energies to the Class of ‘72 by casting your votes for me in my quest for the office of SENIOR CLASS PRESIDENT. Thank you. With best regards, sincerely, James O. Cuthbertson, Jr. Mr. John Walker, UNCC Affiliate Artist (sponsored by the Sears Foundation), will present a concert on Sunday, May 9, at 4 p.m., in the UC Parquet Room.

WVFN, UNCC’s new radio station has recently received a windfall in the form of donated office equipment. Shotwell, Craven, Varner, Inc., a Charlotte advertising agency, recently moved into a new building that included new equipment and furnishings. A student trainee at the firm asked William L. Shotwell, president, if WVFN couldn’t inherit their old desks, typewriters, and other items. Shotwell welcomed the chance to help the students. The donation proved to be more than the radio station needed, and other UNCC student organizations are sharing in the equipment and furnishings. *** The last “Creative Worship Experience” of this semester will take place Sunday, May 9, at 10;00 a.m., in the Library Lounge of Sanford Hall. “The Apple Bit” will be performed by Shirley Officer and John Mills.
